🥚 NEW: Space junk threatens #spacecraft and #astronauts. Engineers at Dalian University of #Technology built #aluminum "eggshell" arrays that deform together to spread impact #energy, with #water-filled versions dampening shockwaves further, cutting a projectile’s velocity by nearly 65% in tests.

NYU researchers found that oil droplets can change shape and swallow their surroundings, much like living cells do. #biomimicry

💁🏻‍♀️ TIL: 🦅💨 The nankeen #kestrel, a tiny Australian #falcon, flies with exceptional stability in turbulent winds, inspiring one international #research team.

Wind tunnel #experiments showed wing and tail extensions helped #birds maintain lift and reduce #flight irregularities. The team aims to integrate these features into small #drones as #climatechange increases atmospheric #turbulence.

"Initially inspired by biomimicking an ovipositing wasp, the EDEN2020 system has been designed to have wide applications across minimally invasive neurosurgery including drug delivery, laser ablation, taking diagnostic readings of brain signals, and delivery of electrical stimulation."

"Here we present the first 3D animation of how it works and foreseeable applications."

A joystick-driven flexible catheter that can penetrate tissue gently, curving around blood vessels to deliver with precision drugs, electrical stimulation, or laser ablation. All inspired by a parasitoid wasp ovipositor.
